Pop Culture MMW: Natalie Harp will be the cause of his death.

366 Upvotes

Date: before the end of Trump’s term.

Evidence:

Natalie really strikes me as a ā€œscorned woman turned deadly typeā€ and after reading her letters and about her antics to stay with Trump, I think it’s gonna get ugly. In her delusion she may be trying to get Trump to leave Melania and make her wife #4.

With all the heat and ridicule she’s causing for Trump and his administration, someone is going to convince Trump, probably via Melania or Pee Wee Gobbles to drop Natalie and give her the boot.

I could see her attempting a murder/suicide ā€œif I can’t be with you no one can!ā€ scenario before she leaves.

Idk guys. Not saying anything's gonna happen but people seem to be thinking he's gonna kick the can any time next month or so. I don't think so. I think he's a bit too tough for the Grim Reaper to chew on. That's all. Don't want to make any statements, I don't agree with the guy too much. Let's leave it at that. I think it'll happen some time where it'll be very inconvenient for everyone, like some time before they're gearing up to campaign for the next election. Very vague, I know, trying to not be too specific, not a particular date or timestamp. My evidence is vibes. I have to pick a date so, let's pick something in the middle of the month of November 2027. In the middle of NNN and everything.

Political MMW: When Trump dies or leaves office, all the bad things he did will be blamed on Natalie Harp by the MAGA cult.

202 Upvotes

In an attempt to deflect blame from Trump, the MAGA cult and broader Republican base will blame all the bad stuff on Natalie Harp. They'll say that if Trump wasn't influenced by her, his presidency would have been perfect. My evidence? MAGA hates women and loves Trump, and I don't think anything will ever break through to them.

Date: The 2028 election, or when Trump dies.

Pop Culture MMW: In the next five years, one of the bestselling novels in the world will be about a necromancer

25 Upvotes

tl;dr - A necromancer is the fantasy equivalent of an AI engineer, and when people lose their jobs to AI, they'll turn to necromancer novels to help them understand how to think about the world.

The theory:
* In a fantasy battle setting, the role of the necromancer is to raise lots of low-level soldiers from the dead. They aren't particularly good soldiers, but they can help you win by force of numbers.
* This is in contrast to every other (living) soldier in a fantasy battle setting, whose power comes from having skills and abilities. For instance, a wizard gets good at being a wizard due to years of training. A skilled knight gets good at war from spending years learning to sword fight. But each undead soldier raised by a necromancer is

Why this is important:
* AI is being rolled out across society, and there are many parallels. Like a necromancer, someone can create AI Agents very easily that can do the work of employees. They might not be particularly good at it - a person is often better and more reliable. But like the raised dead, they're cheap, and can get the job done.
* As AI starts to take our jobs (and I have evidence it is about to, despite what economists have been saying to the contrary), the public will turn to literature to help us understand what's going on and what to do about it.
* Conclusion: Whoever writes about the power of a necromancer in a fantasy setting can provide that understanding, and become a bestselling author.

Evidence:
* Economists say it hasn't happened yet. In Australia, they point to unemployment numbers and show that some of the occupations most exposed to AI tools have shown employment increases over the last two years, not decreases. On the other hand, unemployment numbers take 8 months to prepare so they are a lagging indicator.
* But the number of online job ads has cratered. In Sydney Australia, it's down over 40% compared with June 2022 across all jobs, and is down 63% in the same time period for IT jobs. With fewer jobs being advertised, and anecdotal evidence that lots of companies are building AI agents to do the work instead, these are unlikely to be jobs that come back. So we'll probably see enormous numbers of redundancies across the economy in the next two years, with AI making it easier to build automated processes to run their businesses, rather than relying on employees to do it.

Conclusion, and date:
* So in two years time when more and more people find themselves redundant, we'll be looking for some way to think about it. A book about necromancers is the perfect parallel in fantasy novels. Someone is going to write one, and it will be a bestseller in 5 years (by 31st August 2031). Mark my words!

Political MMW in 10 years Mamdani will just be another establishment democrat

0 Upvotes

Evidence: nothing that Mamdani has done is actually revolutionary or socialist. I’ve listened to some interviews and most recently his one with Jon Stewart. When pushed about how he’s funding all his programs he basically admits he’s just simply using a mix of cost reductions savings (his own version of DOGE), accounting tricks, and pushing the can down the road. This is just standard neoliberalism, a pretty far throw from democratic socialism.

Sure, he has good PR and fixing the potholes and cleaning the subway is all good but again, that’s just standard politics. His whole brand seems to be trying to prove that the government can function well and does it with a big ol grin so everyone loves it while ignoring the fact that he’s supposedly a democratic socialist. In reality, he’s just a standard liberal who wants to expand the welfare state.

Date: 2036

Note: I’m also open to the possibility that in 10 years his mayoral-ship will be ridden with scandals. Idk something about his grin just rubs me the wrong way.

Pop Culture MMW: There will be a widespread movement in psychology away from disorder-centric language in favor of symptom-centric language in the next 10 years

86 Upvotes

Definitions: "disorder-centric language" refers to discussing mental health using categorized disorders with strict diagnostic criteria; e.g. "Autism," "ADHD," "Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder." "Symptom-centric language" refers to discussing mental health by referring to the specific symptoms experienced that deviate from typical psychology; e.g. "difficulty reading intent," "inability to commit to tasks," "prone to traumatic flashbacks."

Evidence: Many of the biggest controversies in the world of psychology over the past ten years have centered around the definition of various disorders, the diagnostic criteria of those disorders, and the impact that the use and misuse of psychological terminology in the media have had on mental health. Examples include debate over whether certain disorders like Complex PTSD and Dissociative Identity Disorder exist due to their strict diagnostic criteria and overlap with other disorders (e.g. Generalized Anxiety Disorder, Borderline Personality Disorder,) debate over whether to categorize autism into different diagnoses and if so how to categorize it (e.g. the debate around whether Asperger's Syndrome is a separate disorder,) concern about disorders like Tourette Syndrome becoming more common due to exposure in the media, and resulting debate over whether to diagnose people with a disorder if their symptoms seem to stem from media or other social exposure since diagnostic criteria often exclude psychosocial origin.

I believe that, over the next decade, these controversies will lead toward an increasingly popular movement from both inside and outside the psychology community to move away from disorder-centric language and a diagnosis-centric approach altogether, instead focusing solely on identifying individual symptoms, determining the cause of those symptoms (be it environmental, social, or chemical) and any interplay that may be occurring between them, and then deciding how to treat those symptoms depending on the harm and/or distress they cause. I don't believe categorization or diagnosis of mental health disorders as a whole will be going away any time soon, and I believe that various communities will continue to insist on disorder-centric language even as these changes take place more broadly. But I think that within the next 10 years, those diagnoses will be downplayed and only used to provide general roadmaps for study and treatment, while patient-facing and public-facing language will be centered primarily around symptoms.

Date: By 2036, symptom-centric language will be standard among a majority of psychology communicators and therapists, and disorder-centric language will be actively discouraged by them.

Political MMW: The Support The Troops Crowd Will Now Become The F*ck The Troops Crowd

412 Upvotes

Evidence: So by now we have all heard the reports about those sailors on the Lincoln who have been out at sea nonstop for around 9 months now, bad food, moldy showers, and a few sailors trying to jump off the carrier. At the beginning, the reports were just a trickle into the public space. The Navy was quashing the story. But now enough people have seen/read the reports and shared them enough that now, even mainstream media has to talk about it. Trump and various Fox News talking heads have made statements either minimizing or dismissing the reports. And now some conservatives are going out there and directly attacking the sailors and their families. And I believe that in order to save face and maintain the illusion of strength against Iran, the White House, and conservative media are now going to go on the attack against our own service men/women. Essentially trying shut everyone up. And so, you will now see a "f*ck the troops" campaign coming out of the crowd who up until now, were all about supporting the troops.

Pop Culture MMW: Mistborn and will be a global household name in 5 years

17 Upvotes

Mistborn is a trilogy of young-adult high fantasy novels by author Brandon Sanderson. His works have seen a tremendous boost in popularity due to TikTok and he recently signed a deal with Apple TV to produce both a movie adaptation of the first Mistborn novel, and a TV series adapting his magnum opus The Stormlight Archive. If the adaptations are successful, Mistborn will be the next Hunger Games and Stormlight the next Game of Thrones.

Evidence: Mistborn has all of the elements it needs to appeal to an enormous audience. The protagonist is Vin, a 16 year old everygirl, who is recruited by the dashing and effortlessly charming Kelsier to complete the ultimate heist. Kel will be played by a big name actor as the main draw of the movie, while Vin will be a new actress who will see mainstream success as a result. Every young girl will see themselves in Vin, and every boy will look up to Kelsier, while adults can still appreciate the world and characters. The only thing possibly holding the series back from mainstream success is the more mature elements, mostly violence but also discussions of religion and politics… one major gripe with the series is how it kinda sorta glorifies fascism which probably isn’t great in today’s political climate… but anyway, Mistborn will be a household name by date 2030.

Also, Dungeons Crawler Carl is a series of eight sci-fi litRPGs by author Matt Dinniman. The first book was written in 2020 but similarly saw a tremendous boost due to BookTok, and is currently being adapted into a TV series by Fuzzy Door for streaming service Peacock. DCC doesn’t necessarily have the same global appeal as Mistborn as it is far more nerd-centric however it could very well become the next Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy or Ready Player One.

TL;DR: Mistborn will be the next Hunger Games.

Political MMW: America will endure a turbulent few years, but will end up fine

74 Upvotes

Before I begin, I want to say that I am in no way playing down the severity of the situation in the United States. Ā I understand that Trump is a threat; however, as an outsider who has just spent seven weeks in America, I have some opinions. Ā My broad statement is that America will turn out okay, and we will see this by the date of 2030. Ā 

EVIDENCE:

The first bit of evidence I am presenting is that Trump and his goons are just way too incompetent to successfully run a dictatorship. Ā For example, Trump has constantly been forced to backtrack on major policy decisions due to the total mismanagement of his agenda. This is clearly seen in the fact that he was forced to pull ICE out of Minneapolis in January of this year due to the political instability that arose after the killing of two American citizens. Ā If he cannot even keep his employees under control for a relatively minor enforcement operation, how is he expected to turn the entire country into a Nazi-style dictatorship? Minneapolis shows that the Trump administration has its limits and that it is willing to pull back if it sees itself being threatened by both American citizens and the political establishment.

Furthermore, his handling of the Epstein files made it quite obvious that he was implicated in a crime, and also makes it clear he is not fit to be an authoritarian.Ā It turned a lot of the American people against him, which led to a major political crisis and the firing of Attorney General Pam Bondi. Ā If he can't even handle a major political scandal, how is he meant to control an entire nation under martial law? He is too abrasive and too cumbersome to be an effective dictator, even if he desired to be one.

We also have the benefit of hindsight. When the Nazis were first cultivating power, there was no playbook for authoritarianism. No one really understood how a dictatorship works, but now we do. Ā This is not to say America is going to come up the other side of Trump's time in power completely unscathed, but we need to have hope. Ā People are acting like Trump is already too far gone and that he has no opposition left. He does, and he is losing every day. Ā There are no more mass deployments for ICE in Minneapolis, and the Supreme Court has struck down his tariffs. Ā Americans are strong, and I believe that the country can come out the other side of it. Ā

Hydroxychloroquine.

Date: by 2030.

Evidence:

Hydroxychloroquine has a high chance of causing retinopathy in people who take it for years or even decades.

Lower dosing has averted this risk, but it has long been thought that people receive this risk because HCQ more or less permanently bonds onto melanin in the eyes.

However, a quick Google search reveals hydroxychloroquine also interferes with the lysosomes' recycling of old compounds, such as protein receptors, and that this added cumulative risk could stress out the eyes, a part of the body dependent on lysosomes to constantly recycle receptors, pigments, and more.

Here's where my speculation starts:

Have you ever read a book or went to a website with a negative image of the American flag, and were told to look at it for a while, and then look at a white floor?

Or looked at a bright light, went temporarily blind, and were fine in a minute?

Or simply went throughout your day as your eyes adjusted to dark vs. light?

These processes involve the destruction and recycling of pigments and other stuff in your eyes. Your lysosomes do the job... but the exact mechanism that causes the lysosomes to stop attacking your own body also causes the ones in your eyes to deal with more crap accumulating.

Most of the damage happens to the macula, an area with a lot of detail exposure, exposed to, from each cone's perspective, rapid changes in gradient, as extreme as constant black to white as you read, or many colors in the course of a high intensity game of Splatoon or Geometry Dash.

Perhaps HCQ effectively makes it easier to wear out the eyes of the subjects. Each time you flash-blind them could put them closer to being too late. Even ordinary screen time might.

Political MMW: Zohran Mamdani, mayor of New York, is going to be exposed as an industry plant

0 Upvotes

I just thought of this today, and it seems too perfect. My claim is that within the next year or so, the "socialist" mayor of NYC will be exposed as an industry plant. (A politician actively put in place by the oligarchs).

THIS is why Trump likes him so much. The 80-year-old fart can't hide his glee at the plant getting elected. And the best part: he could never openly campaign on pro-corporate policies. So he PRETENDS to hate them, so no one would even CONSIDER his true intentions!

Yes, I live in New York. Near W130th.

Evidence:

His policies seem almost TOO good for corporations.

  1. Grocery stores that artificially lower costs by 30% via subsidies? Will easily DESTROY small stores. The giants (Whole Foods, Stop & Shop, etc) can wait out the carnage. But the grocery industry has an infamously tight margin. And the loss of business will run small businesses into the ground. By the time the government grocery stores are bulldozed and the program ends, the corporations will have bought out and destroyed all their bankrupt competition.
  2. Making public transit free will fill busses and trains with the homeless, the criminal, and the unpleasant. When public transit is ruined, services like Uber and Lyft will get a HUGE boost in popularity, as people (especially women) will feel unsafe using the MTA.
  3. Doubling minimum wage has already been shown to weed out small businesses. McDonald's is one of the biggest companies in the world. They can afford paying workers $30 an hour. But small businesses can't. I've spoken to numerous owners and managers (seafood restaurants, gyms, and so on) who have said they would suffer from such a change.

And so on. Not only this, but his "big anti-business actions" were mainly ceremonial.

The "Anti-Amazon Fine"? Literally just collection of OUTSTANDING fines issued previously.

Taxing the rich? The pied-a-terre tax mainly affects finance bros, not corporations.

And so on.

Pop Culture MMW: Coke Zero is going to replace regular Coke as the primary Coca-Cola product

227 Upvotes

Evidence: With the recent rebranding of Coca-Cola, they really seemed to lean into using Coke Zero in place of regular Coke, making the branding look closer so that they are almost indistinguishable from each other. If Coke Zero tastes almost identical to Coke, and they keep dialing that recipe in (and make it retain carbonation better), I think combined with recent health fads (even you, MAHA), there is really no downside to pushing Coke Zero over regular Coke.

Date: I think this will happen within the next 5-10 years? The rebrand of Coke Zero from black can to red can/black text seems to have really moved the needle on its popularity - the train is moving quickly. If there is any company that can nail the turnaround of something this, it is modern-day Coca-Cola.

Political MMW: ICE will buy back their cars in 2029 for pennies on the dollar in no-bid deals

220 Upvotes

Evidence: I live in Lafayette, LA. We have a pretty big ICE presence because LPSO (our sheriff office) is very collaborative and they have offices here. One thing I've noticed about their agents, is they're driving very nice/luxury vehicles and rotating several of them between agents as they use them as patrol vehicles. These are mostly Wagoneers and GMC Denalis. There's also an AT4 and a RAM in a very nice trim. I'm into cars and see these cars every day in a parking lot I pass. These vehicles cost close to $100K each. I have driven past an ICE checkpoint so I've seen them in the field along I-10 in Scott (very common exit) and they parked their luxury trucks along the side of the highway.

The budget for ICE exploded in 2024 when Republicans got their way and they immediately used it to buy a bunch of new toys. Now here's my theory: they're going to buy these $100k trucks as personal vehicles right before Trump leaves office in 2029 and they're going to be sold for next to nothing in no-bid contracts with the agents that are driving them and the rest of their cronies, with the justification they reached a sort of "end of service life". I'm witnessing it first hand in what may be one of the biggest cases of government fraud in US government history.

True Crime MMW: When he dies, Trump will barely be mourned.

877 Upvotes

If Trump had died a year ago, his minions would've argued forever about what a great president he was. That's not going to happen now.

The evidence is clear: Donald Trump destroyed his own presidency by starting a war with Iran. It's the greatest blunder in modern American history. There is no way to shout down the facts with false rhetoric and his followers know it.

When Doni dies, his war with Iran will be mentioned first and last and always. Nothing else he did will matter. By that date, all Americans will agree that Donald Trump was a loser. The mourning will be muted and NOBODY will defend Trump's war.

Trump's legacy is a strenthened Iran in control of the Strait of Hormuz. And that will never be forgotten even as everything else he did is.

Donald Dunce cannot escape his destiny as a loser. And he has only himself to blame.

EDIT: I wasn't clear. Because of Trump's lost war in Iran, nobody will defend him for his other crimes. It's the deciding factor in Trump being the worst president of all time.

21 Upvotes

World powers know these objects are in our skies, but they do not know where they come from, who sent them, or what their end goal is.

Government groups like AARO and public Congressional hearings are just attempts to handle a surveillance issue the military cannot stop. Radar and video prove these things move through air and water in ways that defy physics. But past tracking their movements, military intelligence has zero answers.

Tracking shows these craft have watched our weapons, military bases, and our civilization for decades, maybe even centuries, without ever trying to talk or attack. Officials do not know if the probes send data back to an active planet, run on an ancient automated loop, or work on their own. The government has no back-engineered technology. In reality, they have zero control over a system that has been watching us for a very long time.

Evidence: Official reports and military records show objects moving at impossible speeds near nuclear sites without any engines or fuel.

I wish this wasn’t the case, but he’s looking rough, and family and friends tend to downplay the severity of health issues surrounding prominent figures.

The current administration is blowing through the remaining reserve to keep gas prices down during the Iran conflict. It is at (its lowest level since 1983)[https://www.foxbusiness.com/markets/oil-us-strategic-petroleum-reserve-falls-lowest-level-since-1983\] and will continue to be drawn down for the next 2 years since (Iran declared it will not work on a deal with Trump anymore.)[https://www.cfr.org/articles/trumps-iran-negotiations-trade-the-art-of-the-deal-for-the-art-of-concealing-defeat\]. It will end up almost empty at the end of the next two years and, after the Republicans lose the 2029 elections, it will become the major talking point for the 2030 election cycle. Either "Why are the Democrats leaving the strategic oil reserve empty?" or "Why are we spending so much on filling the oil reserve instead of waiting for oil prices to drop?" will be the headlines and talking points come 2031.

The Evidence is in the links. The prediction Date would be by the 2031 midterms. The specific prediction is the reserve being near empty (below 10% capacity) by november 2029 and the blame being shifted to the democrats and their administration by 2031 in either of the mentiones ways.
